Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Thought: An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

HS
options: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is for students to demonstrate strategies they have for using equivalent fractions to add and subtract fractions with different denominators. These mental calculations prepare students for working with more complex common denominators during this lesson.

\(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{4}\)

Activity Synthesis
“How can we find the correct value of
\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\)
?” (
\(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{4}\)
so
\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\)
.)
